About the Owner
Licensed in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, Will is also LEED Certified BD+C (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – Building Design and Construction). Earning his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Tulane University, Will also studied for a semester at the University of Pennsylvania. It was during this time, in a graduate level design studio, where Will became immersed in the digital design culture and would fully embrace its potential.
Formative post graduate experience includes time spent at the high end design build firm of Robert Stack located on Long Beach Island in New Jersey. Detail oriented, Jersey Shore vernacular single and multi-family designs were the mainstay.
Will spent more than two years working in the Modular construction industry and has been heavily influenced by the practical design challenges associated with offsite logistical constraints. “Necessity is the mother of all invention” and becomes an Architectural asset when considering the possibilities within such a framework.
Will’s passion for Architecture began as a passion for all things building as a young child. Prior to formal Architecture school he spent three cumulative years working in the construction industry as a carpenter and framer with some considerable plumbing and electrical work. This hands on approach has continued to this day and is reflected in the careful detailing seen in the final construction documents he produces.
Recently completed projects and those currently in development range from high-end single family residential to multi-family residential as well as light commercial.
Will founded Hidlay Architecture LLC in Fall 2011 to focus on creative, cost-effective and personalized solutions for his clients.
